I tried provapes jack and coke. It does vape well but the coke flavor goes pretty quick, and u get a taste that I can only describe as filtered with a dirty/damp sock. Its nasty. Also will kill a carto quick. Was not treating my atomizer very well also. I flooded it for the one, and only time with that juice and the draw was getting tight. So if u have another way u want to try it then maybe give it a go. Its very dark juice. I wont be buying anymore though. Its not for me.

I've pretty much only used the usual TPA / FA etc, but want to try some nice strong alcohol flavorings. I've seen a pattern in flavors amongst some vendors so I'm assuming they're getting them from the same place but got no idea where. Any recommendations for some goodies ?
Have you seen the Super concentrate thread yet with the Vz flavors? There OMG the best and the flavors taste just like the real thing!

I saw those but they're obviously getting them from somewhere else, i'd rather cut out the middle man and not pay those kinda prices lol.

Just a little math:
48 drops = 1ml, it takes 12 drops to make a 10ml finished bottle of juice if mixing at the 2.5% range. at that mixing rate 1ml of concentrate can make 40ml of finished juice so one 7ml bottle of concentrate can make 280ml of finished juice!
I am not sure if you'll like it or not but chances are you will as most everyone who has tried them sure do and they meet your alcohol based needs.
$6.99 per Bottle for concentrate that makes that much juice is worth the risk with so many rave reviews and after mixing a 10ml tester (Only 12 drops) or 5ml tester at only 6 Drops if your not liking the flavor re-sale it here and I bet there will be takers. Win, Win

It all depends on how you mix. I generally use FA and they are 3%-4% just as VZ is 3% so the cost for VZ is double for me as the FA go for $12-$15 for a 30ml. Now TPA is different as they are not as concentrated and need !0%-15% so the cost is the same.
I am not knocking VZ as I love the juices but when compared to the FA it costs ME double.

Is FA PG base or Alcohol? I mostly picked Vz due to its Alcohol base. FA is good and priced well I just can't re-call if its Pg or Alc.

I use the FA tobaccos at 2 or 3 percent but the non-tobaccos can be up to 8 to 10 percent. I did some calcs when the VZ flavors came out and they are about the same cost as TPA used at 10 to 12 percent and a fraction of the cost of Capellas used at 15 to 20 percent.

eta: FA flavors are PG based for most of them, there are a few that are alcohol but not many.

Yeah i hear ya.. i'll just wait til someone figures out where the flavors are from, should be cheaper.

In the meantime though i'll be hunting for some natural organic stuff

MadVapes has alcohol based flavor extracts and they cost a lot less but the suggested usage is 20%. I have a few of them and some are ok, you would have to do a little research because I don't think they list ingredients or source either.
